Following successful forums in 2018 and 2022, EuroCham Cambodia and its Real Estate & Construction Committee are increasing the scope of this year's Tall Building Forum by collaborating with the Construction Committee of EuroCham Vietnam. Thus, for this 3rd Edition, the Forum will take place in two different locations: on the 28th of May in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on the 30th, featuring internationally recognised experts.
The two forums will share common subjects: the trends of Tall Buildings in 2024 in Southeast Asia, sustainability concepts related to tall buildings, affordability, and the latest technologies. Each forum will have a country-specific session to make each event truly unique. Additionally, for the Cambodian edition of the forum, the audience will have the chance during coffee breaks to view a model exhibition created by students as part of the "Future Tall Building Competition." The competition allows architecture students to showcase their talents by designing tall buildings that prioritise practicality, sustainability, and community integration.
